About this product

If a 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 or Sentra 2.0 with the RE0F10A CVT has started slipping on takeoff, or will not move at all in Drive, the cause is often not the belt everyone blames. When the forward clutch burns, the drum that carries it can overheat, crack or wear out its sealing ring lands. This is a used, factory RE0F10A clutch drum for the 2007 model year, the first year of this transmission in North American cars, pulled from a unit so you can rebuild with a genuine Nissan drum instead of buying a whole transmission.

What the clutch drum does in an RE0F10A

RE0F10A is Nissan's name for the Jatco JF011E. Ratio change is done entirely by the steel push belt riding between two variable pulleys, so the clutches have only one job: selecting direction. A planetary set sits in front of the primary pulley. In Drive the forward clutch locks that planetary so input turns the pulley directly; in Reverse a brake holds a member of the set to spin it backward. The part pictured is the input shaft and drum. Engine torque comes in through the shaft splines, the drum carries the clutch plates, and apply oil is fed down the shaft past the sealing rings into the piston cavity.

Because there are no upshifts, the forward pack stays clamped the entire time the car is moving forward. Any pressure the drum loses, through a cracked wall, a worn ring groove or a leaking piston, turns straight into slip and heat whenever you accelerate.

Symptoms that point to the drum

How to confirm before you buy

A drum is a teardown part, so prove the clutch circuit is the problem first. Sonnax publishes the RE0F10A pressure tap locations; read the forward clutch tap at idle and under load and compare to spec. Low forward pressure with normal line pressure points inside the transmission at the drum, piston or sealing rings. Low pressure everywhere points at the pump or the valve body, and worn valve body bores are a known cause of delayed engagement and slip on this unit. Our CVT harsh and delayed engagement walkthrough covers that test order, and the Jatco CVT problems and fixes guide explains which complaints are belt and pulley wear instead. Once the case is open, air check the drum, inspect the shaft ring lands for steps and look for heat cracks near the plate lugs.

Fitment for the 2007 RE0F10A

This drum is listed for 2007 RE0F10A transmissions, the year it launched behind the Altima 2.5 four-cylinder and the new Sentra 2.0, with the same JF011E design also used in the 2007 Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot. Jatco changed the input shaft and drum during production, and the change points did not always follow model years. Compare your old part before installing: the spline count, overall shaft length and the number and position of the identification and sealing ring grooves all need to match. If you are between years, also look at our 2007-2009 RE0F10A drum and the later 2010-2012 drum, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Everything for this unit is on our CVT parts page.

Condition matters on a part like this. It is a used take-out, not remanufactured, and it is covered by the 1-year warranty shown on the listing. Clean it and inspect it yourself before it goes in, the same way you would your own drum.

RE0F10A Clutch Drum 2007: common questions

Is this the same clutch drum as the JF011E 2007 drum?

Yes. RE0F10A is Nissan's designation for the Jatco JF011E, so the drum is the same design. Match the shaft splines, length and groove pattern to your old drum to confirm the production revision.

Will a new clutch drum fix my CVT slipping?

Only if the forward clutch circuit is the cause. Belt and pulley wear, a weak pump or worn valve body bores also cause slip, so pressure test the forward clutch tap first and confirm the drum or its sealing rings are leaking.

What should I replace along with the drum?

Forward clutch frictions and steels, the piston seals, the shaft sealing rings and the filters. Flush or replace the cooler so old debris does not return to the valve body.

Does it fit a 2007 Dodge Caliber or Jeep Patriot?

Those vehicles use the same JF011E design, but internal revisions vary, so compare your old drum to the photo or send us your year and VIN before ordering.

Is this part new or used?

It is a used original-equipment drum taken from a transmission, not remanufactured. It carries the 1-year warranty shown on the listing.

Does the CVT need a relearn after replacing the drum?

The drum itself does not, but after a teardown it is good practice to clear codes, reset the fluid degradation counter on Nissan models with a scan tool and road test to confirm engagement.
